Early 20th C. Penny Toy Striped Car with Pair of Figures wooden school slate richly hand-painted on both sidesI paid about as much for this one as I'm asking, but I think it's just about the best looking, and sweetest, tin litho penny toy I've ever seen, so I had to bring it home and will be glad to keep it for myself. How to beat these green and orange stripes and these two tiny figures facing one another forever as they roll along? With those two big (relatively speaking) silver wheels perfectly punctuating the symmetry. Total delight. 1 5 8" w x 1 3 8" t x
